One thing I haven’t talked much about is my love for photography. When I lived in North Carolina, I was really active in it. Living on the coast meant I could capture beautiful seascapes whenever I wanted. However, since moving to Texas, I’ve struggled to find areas nearby that are quite as photogenic.
That said, I’ve set a goal for 2025 to get back into photography—a lot more of it! I’ve been using a traditional DSLR for years, but with most manufacturers now going mirrorless, it’s time for an upgrade. Unfortunately, my current lenses aren’t fully compatible with the new systems without using adapters, which can reduce image quality.
I’m currently looking into upgrading to the Canon R5 Mk II along with three lenses: the 15-35mm, 24-70mm, and 70-200mm. This is a big investment, though, so I’m weighing my options. In the meantime, I’m planning a few more trips this year to get back into the swing of things with my current gear before making any major purchases.
I’ll be sure to update the blog with any progress on this front!
